FIGB is presented as a more conservative alternative with lower volatility (beta 0.25 vs 0.33) and smaller maximum drawdown (-18.1% vs -20.3%), but it underperforms VCIT in returns and has a higher expense ratio (0.36%). It offers safety but at the cost of lower returns.
FIGB offers higher dividend yield (4.1%), better 1-year returns (5.9%), broader diversification across 180 holdings in multiple bond sectors, and active management aimed at outperforming the broader market. These features appeal to income-focused investors willing to accept higher fees and volatility.
